Watch Dr. Jim Porter manipulate a da Vinci surgical robot to build a paper airplane about the size of a penny. At the end, he tries to fling it into the air, again, using only the robot’s arms.

    If I had to have surgery, I’d like a doctor like this.

    I would never let this guy operate on me, because he doesn’t know how to make a paper airplane. It’s supposed to have 2 more folds.

    Throwing arms needs a little work.

    I can make a airplane even smaller than that with my hands. Try to make a origami box less than a quarter of the size of a sugar cube. I can do that with my hands.

    Is this a robot or just some remotely controlled waldos?

    Yea it seems kinda harder to do with the arms than it would be with my own hands…
